Carefully selected entries cover both the major and minor geographical discoveries of Asia, Africa, Australia, the Americas and the Arctic and Antarctic. Drawing upon researches published in French, English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian and Scandinavian, the author has included the lives not only of the explorers themselves, but of the great instrument makers and entrepreneurs who made the journeys of discovery possible. He has also included, as well as the maritime explorers, the neglected men who pioneered the great land masses--the bandeirantes of Brazzil, the voortekkers of South Africa, the Russian zemlyeprokhkhotsy, and explorers of the continental United States.
